Thank you for the pointer.

Assuming that 'registry per directory' is an option similar to
.htaccess for IIS, it's worth mentioning that for example safe_mode is
listed as PHP_INI_SYSTEM so it can be set in httpd.conf or php.ini but
not .htaccess (or whatever IIS uses).

You will notice at php.net/ini_set that some options are
PHP_INI_SYSTEM|PHP_INI_PERDIR and some are PHP_INI_ALL, those can be
set per directory.

This 'when changable' information should be mentioned within every
configuration description in the manual as opposed to only in the
ini_set() docs. Or at least pointed somewhere.

That said, am marking this as a documentation problem. Also note that
equivelents for apache's httpd.conf and .htaccess should be mentioned
somewhere too, not sure where (yet).

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ini-set.php

Contains a comprehensive list of ini settings and it tells you whether
a particular ini setting can be set per directory or not.

Thanks for the comments but I lodged the report *after* reading
anything relevant in the docs I could find. I could find nothing about
the 'registry per directory' win32 registry functionality but it
exists. Where would I find info explaining which php.ini options are
accepted for this function? I would be happy to accept any specific
pointers to relevant docs from more knowledgable people than myself.

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

Options such as safe_mode, expose_php, etc.. can only be set via
PHP.ini and are NOT 'per directory'.
